Gloveria integrifolia leaves

    Gloveria integrifolia leaves

    The simple, short-stalked leaves of Gloveria integrifolia grow in fascicles from knobbly spur-branchlets.

    The leaf-shape is slightly variable but mostly maintain the obovate to elliptic standard with rounded or shallowly notched tip and tapering base. The margins are entire and rounded on the thickish, smooth blades showing no visible venation on the blue-green to grey-green.

    The leaf dimensions are 5 mm to 25 mm long by 5 mm to 10 mm wide (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Coates Palgrave, 2002; iNaturalist).
